I don't think you have check the problem at all. There is NO DBA at
all. The application is a standalone application for everyone (the
mass) like a Shareware tool. In the most cases it will run on a
single pc and not inside a company structure with a DBA. The users
have no idea about DBMS and only want to use the application without
any technical DBMS problems.

I can read relase notes but they do not say how it must be done. It
says only that it is possible with 1.5 but not how! Simply seting an
other port number doesn't work. There must be much more to be done.
How must a second instance be setup in the registry? Nothing of that
information can be found in the release notes! You can believe me
that I'm trying to run two instances since more than a week but with
no success. I have read the Release notes more than one time and I
have searched the net for any informations but with no success!

You can test it yourself simply by running the fbserver.exe from two
diffrent installations in the commandline like this:

1. Instance: c:\fb1.5\fbserver.exe -a -p 3051
2. Instance: c:\fb1.5_2\fbserver.exe -a -p 3052

You can't start the second instance because it says a server is
already running. There must be more than only an other port number
which prevents it to run. I have also changed the IpcName for the
second server. I have found out that it has to to with the
FirebirdXPI. If I patch the FBServer.exe and change this name to a
diffrent one I can start two instances. But I have no Idea what
sideffects this will have and even for what this name is used at
all. Is there eventually a undocumented config file switch for this
like the IpcName?

Yes install but does it also run together? In the release notes it
says it should be possible but on this link
http://firebird.sourceforge.net/devel/doc/manual/defaulthtml/ibfbcoex
.html it says it is not possible to run both at the same time. So
what is now true? I don't have a IB server to test it myself.
